ituated along the majestic Cass River in central Michigan lies a small town that piles a
heaping plate of simple joys that you can share with friends and family no matter the
season. Frankenmuth was founded in 1845 by a group of 15 German immigrants and
they knew a charming spot when they saw it. The town those early settlers built continues to
honor its heritage with Bavarian architecture, quaint streets graced by flowers, restaurants and
boutiques that cater to visitors hankering for Old World flavors, and some 18 major festivals
and events throughout the year. It says something about the need for people to experience
a connection with older traditions when a town of 5,000 residents can attract nearly three
million visitors per year.From the architecture to the restaurant menus, many visitors don’t even realize that everything
in Frankenmuth has a strong and authentic tie to Bavaria, Germany. In fact, on the second
Sunday of every month, St. Lorenz Lutheran Church still offers a worship service spoken
in German for locals ingrained with their German heritage.PARTNER CONTENT FOR FRANKENMUTH
